Artist Walkthrough with Rosa Duffy

Special Event

Join us for a special walkthrough of TALL AND WILD: Atlanta 1984–1994 with artist and curator Rosa Duffy, whose work explores identity, heritage, and the power of storytelling. A native of Atlanta and founder of For Keeps Books, Rosa brings a unique perspective to this exhibition, drawing from her personal experiences and archival research rooted in Black literary and cultural histories.

During this intimate tour, Rosa will guide guests through her body of work featured in the exhibition, offering personal insights into her creative process and the cultural context that shaped Atlanta’s artistic landscape during the pivotal decade from 1984 to 1994. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with the artist and explore how memory, place, and community shape both visual and literary narratives.

This program is free with museum admission. Space is limited; early arrival is recommended.
